The BBC has been accused of “blocking” a major humanitarian appeal for Gaza as it has been revealed the broadcaster has “delayed” the launch of a campaign. All other channels have agreed to broadcast the appeal, the Guardian has reported. Insiders at the DEC, the BBC and aid agencies told the news agency they were dismayed at the delay with some accusing the broadcaster of “blocking” the appeal because of fears over a backlash from Israel supporters.

Invoices confirm the United States funded almost seven tonnes of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) weaponry illegally transported through Irish airspace. In the past two weeks The Ditch has reported that more than 55 tonnes of Israel-bound munitions were transported through Irish sovereign airspace on six flights from October 2023 to February 2024. On 27 November 2023, US-based weapons manufacturer Combined Systems issued two invoices to the “Government of Israel” for their purchase of 25,066 units of CS-containing cartridges. The Israel Defense Forces use the cartridges, which cause severe irritation to the eyes, against Palestinians in the West Bank. The US-funded tear gas, which weighed more than 6.4 tonnes, was transported to Israel on a 1 February, 2024 Challenge Airlines flight, which flew through Irish sovereign airspace on its way to Tel Aviv. No consent was sought to carry these munitions over Irish airspace, according to taoiseach Simon Harris.

by Ryan Grim Sep 06, 2024 “It’s an indictable criminal offence for an air carrier to transport munitions or dangerous goods over Irish sovereign airspace without an exemption from the minister for transport,” The Ditch editors wrote in their post. “The Department of Transport says no such exemptions were granted to Challenge Airlines in 2023 or 2024.”
